Demon boy

the brass bull

Tom ran into his bathroom his eyes tearing up trying to block the door from his dad as his father banged the door

"Open the door Thomas!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!

His dad was mad at him because Tom was failing school.

It wasn't completely Tom's fault, his father would keep him up all night because of stupid reasons. When his dad was fighting with his mom, Bottles were thrown, and Doors were broken down. Always the same goddamn shit. He was so tired of it.

BANG!  BANG! BANG!

His dad managed to kick down the door pushing Tom to the bathroom floor which made Tom fall face first into the hard bathroom floor. Tom's nose started to bleed.

"Come here you little shit-"
His dad walked closer to Tom with belt in his hand. His father raised the hand with the belt high  Tom was scared he used his arms to cover himself and closed his eyes.

"Stan please! he didn't mean to get bad grades it's not his fault!" 

Tom's Mom cried out from outside of the bathroom.

"Shut the fuck up you slut!"
His father yelled and went to slap his mom. 

Tom closed his eyes so he wouldn't see his mother getting slapped.
He soon heard his mom screaming and crying in pain. His father had forgotten about  hitting him. While he heard his mother crying he got up, lockdd the door shut and looked in his cabinet in his restroom. He didn't care which type of pill its was, he reached out for a pill bottle and opened it and swallowed the pill with some water from the bathroom sink.

He felt slightly sick and went to his room and hid from his father soon his mother's screams slowly disappeared. After a couple of minutes later  the headache went away and nothing happened to Tom.

"Well, there goes my attempt of suicide." He said to himself.

He got up and put his blue hoodie on.  He picked up a little golden bull from his nightstand that his mother gave him on his 5th birthday. He put the little brass bull in his pocket. Tom looked at his phone and read 12:47a.m. He snuck out threw his window.

He walked down his road until he reached a bridge to a river below the current was so strong a dog died by getting caught in it a couple of years ago.

He looked at the river for a while.  And got up on the wall of the bridge. He stood there for a minute before sighing.

"Well, I guess this is it. Don't know why I haven't tried going out this way before. But, oh well. Uh I guess my life was fucked up and it never could've amounted to nothing anyways-"

"Oh come on don't say that, you would have never had known if you weren't planning to kill yourself right here right now."
Someone Said in a Norwegian accent.

Tom looked to see a sly man In black pants a red hoodie with the hood over his head and a black overcoat having a smile plasterd on his face. Tom paused for a moment.

"Huh , I guess the pills actually do work- that's just fucking  great I've gone crazy. Yay another reason for me to die"
He said that last part with sarcasm.

"Goodbye I guess"
Tom was one foot off of the bridge before he was interrupted once more.

"Oh come on! That's it?! Talk about a shitty ending!"
The man said sounding irritated.

Tom put his foot back and looked at the man and got mad.

"Seriously dude?! What the fuck?! Can you atleast just let me kill myself? Tell the police you were a good friend of mine! Tell them you tried to stop me! I don't care! just  let me kill myself!"
Tom yelled. 

The man chuckled.
"Oh! you think I'm like you, don't you?!"
He tried to not burst out in laughter but he couldn't help himself. he laughed so hard he wrapped his arms around his own waist.

Tom looked at the guy and wanted to slap him. But was also really confused at what he said.

"What the hell does he mean 'he's not like me?'"  Tom thought to himself

"I expect your wondering what I'm talking about...don't worry I'll just show you"

The man took off his hood. he had Horns for hair and on the sides of his head. He held out his hand.
"I'm Tord."

Tom looked at Tord in shock.

"What the hell?!"
Tom thought and stepped backwards a bit.

(Please kill me this is shit :'))
